Melanocortins and agouti-related protein modulate the excitability of two arcuate nucleus neuron populations by alteration of resting potassium conductances [PDF]

, 2007
The hypothalamic melanocortin system is crucial for the control of appetite and body weight. Two of the five melanocortin receptors, MC3R and MC4R are involved in hypothalamic control of energy homeostasis, with the MC4R having the major influence. It is

Leptin resistance: unsolved diagnostic issues [PDF]

, 2018
Leptin and its receptors are key regulators of body weight and energy homeostasis. A decrease in tissue sensitivity to leptin leads to the development of obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, etc.

Energy homeostasis : crosstalk between adipose tissue and the human hypothalamus [PDF]

There is a worldwide epidemic of obesity. Weight rise is a consequence of continuous positive energy balance which leads to accumulation of body fat. Recent insights into adipose tissue (AT) biology have led to the conclusion that the adipocyte is not

Erythropoietin, Thrombopoietin and Leptin Receptors: Signal transduction pathways [PDF]

, 2002
International audienceErythropoietin (Epo), Thrombopoietin (Tpo) and leptin are hormones with distinct physiological properties. While the first two regulate survival, growth and differentiation of erythroid and megakaryocytic progenitors respectively ...

Expression of Tas1 taste receptors in mammalian spermatozoa [PDF]

, 2012
Background: During their transit through the female genital tract, sperm have to recognize and discriminate numerous chemical compounds. However, our current knowledge of the molecular identity of appropriate chemosensory receptor proteins in sperm is ...

Receptor-Mediated Transcytosis of Leptin through Human Intestinal Cells In Vitro

International Journal of Cell Biology, 2010
Gastric Leptin is absorbed by duodenal enterocytes and released on the basolateral side towards the bloodstream. We investigated in vitro some of the mechanisms of this transport.

Peripheral, but not central, CB1 antagonism provides food intake-independent metabolic benefits in diet-induced obese rats. [PDF]

, 2008
OBJECTIVE Blockade of the CB1 receptor is one of the promising strategies for the treatment of obesity. Although antagonists suppress food intake and reduce body weight, the role of central versus peripheral CB1 activation on weight loss and related ...
